Elan Lepovic opened to 130,000 from under the gun. Jason Reels called from middle position, and Yvonne Alton defended from the big blind.
Lepovic continued for 180,000 on the 10♥6♦4♣ flop. Reels folded, but Alton check-called to find the 8♣ turn that she checked. Lepovic checked back.
The 7♠ didn't bring more action and Alton flipped over 8♥7♥ for a runner-runner two pair. Lepovic didn't have a better hand.
In a three-bet pot with around 900,000 already in the middle, Shad Morris and Korte Yeo checked on a monotone flop 5♥9♥A♥.
The 2♣ hit the turn and this time Morris check-called Yeo for 325,000. The 2♥ paired the board and both players checked. Yeo tabled A♦K♦ but had the bad surprise to see J♥J♣ in Morris's hand for a rivered flush and the pot was shipped to Morris.
Joseph Daddario open-shoved in early position for his last 545,000 and it folded to Brian Baron in the big blind who asked for the count before calling.
Joseph Daddario: A♦J♠
Brian Baron: 8♣8♦
Daddario had to win the flip to stay alive but the board revealed Q♥Q♣9♣4♠4♥ and the pot was sent to Baron.
